Open Source Software by Paul Kavanaugh


I recently finished this overview of the current state of Open Source Software and think it's a great book. Here's my Amazon review: This overview of open source software implementation and management was a great resource for me as a business manager with a technical background who wanted to get a breadth of knowledge on the subject. This book is very comprehensive and contains very up to date information on architectures, design considerations, legal issues, business issues and the history of open source.

I initially tried to gather this type of information online and went through a number of resources and venues, but ultimately decided my time was to valuable and the information available to disparate not to find a good overview. If you are a business or technology manager who is making decisions about directions for your organization and considering open source solutions, this is a great overview of where things are at today.

The book includes a list of web resources regarding open source and for learning more over time. It also includes sample open source licenses to get exposure to the issues regarding licensing.
